| Description |
|
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) provided youth employment
programs during the Great Depression. The Texas Forest Service administered
the Lufkin Camp. The men built bridges, ran telephone lines, and
planted trees. The camp was instrumental in providing employment
in the area, but also helped revive the East Texas forest industry
through its use of progressive forestry techniques.
Marker Location is at the intersection of Frank ( SH94) and Ellis
St. in Lufkin.
